Re: What is more authentic?
It makes sense that there are many levels of being and understanding. That's why it's humorous when we think we've "arrived" or when we think we see/understand the definitive "what is". Many people try to achieve the real authenticity by practicing ancient ways of life and relig...

Re: What is more authentic?
I think of authenticity more as being truthful and open about who oneself is essentially being in any given moment... rather than, say, acting from habits/ideas that one attaches themselves to. I know so many people who do their best to open themselves - to find and show what they have behind "...

If so, how can we communicate and understand each other?Impenitent wrote: ↑Fri Aug 31, 2018 1:26 am
the things you sense give you your perceptual definitions
no one else senses exactly as you do through your senses
each instance is unique although they may share similar names

Re: What is more authentic?
In both the USA and France, and perhaps Canada, mindful eye contact always serves the purpose of intent. Do you have a personal experience of communication in all these countries? My impression is that the direct eye contact in North America has become a prevailing and unavoidable cultural norm. I ...

Re: What is more authentic?
It looks like French thinkers (Foucault, Deleuse, Derrida, Guattari) are not popular in North America.

Re: Failure of "I".
I think that Felix Guattari brought a good example of how "I' and consciousness are actually split into multiple heterogenic components, nevertheless composing one whole assemblage: “When we drive, we activate subjectivity and a multiplicity of partial consciousness connected to the car ‘s tech...

Re: Failure of "I".
In these respects the nature of "I" relativistically maintains itself through expansion and contraction across time. Social-cultural assemblages follow this same set up as the act of being of one culture observes the consumption and reproduction of other cultures...I may have to elaborate...

Re: Is the utterance "I speak" a performative?
Those are good examples of why "I speak" is still a problem. Why do you call this a problem? it causes grief to whom? It is not a problem. It happens, but it harms no one, it is not disruptive, it is not vicious or malignant, it is not harmful to anyone by any stretch of imagination. It i...

Re: Is the utterance "I speak" a performative?
speaking without an immediate audience (aside from oneself) is an internal event... If we consider a monologue (what was Hamlet’s audience?), or so-called “inner speech,” we can not find an audience, physically present at the instance of utterance generation. Nevertheless, in both cases, speech act...
